Google Workspace CLI operations via gws (Drive/Sheets/Docs/Slides/Calendar/Gmail). Use when a user asks to search, list, read, export, upload, or update files on Google Drive; read/write Google Sheets or Docs; manage Calendar events; send/search Gmail; or troubleshoot gws auth/access errors. Triggers: 'Google Drive', 'Sheets', 'Docs', 'Slides', 'gws', 'spreadsheet', 'ドライブ', 'スプレッドシート'. Do NOT use for: MCP-native Gmail/Calendar operations (prefer mcp__claude_ai_Gmail/Google_Calendar when available), local file operations, or non-Google cloud storage.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

6 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈3

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Read-only first: always confirm access with a read command before writes

    line 18
  2. Distinctive:

    Confirm before writes: never execute write/delete without user approval

    line 19
  3. Very specific:

    MCP fallback: If mcp__claude_ai_Gmail__* or mcp__claude_ai_Google_Calendar__* tools are available, prefer those for Gmail/Calendar tasks

    line 21
  4. Very specific:

    401/403: Run gws auth login to re-authenticate

    line 137
  5. Distinctive:

    404: Verify file/spreadsheet ID is correct

    line 138
  6. Very specific:

    Rate limit: Add --page-delay 500 for bulk operations </important>

    line 139

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Google Workspace CLI (gws)

Prerequisites

  1. gws must be on $PATH (npm install -g @googleworkspace/cli)
  2. Auth: gws auth login (browser OAuth) or GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS env var
  3. Check auth: NODE_NO_WARNINGS=1 gws auth status

Important

  • Always suppress Node warnings: prefix commands with NODE_NO_WARNINGS=1
  • Read-only first: always confirm access with a read command before writes
  • Confirm before writes: never execute write/delete without user approval
  • Use --dry-run for destructive operations
  • MCP fallback: If mcp__claude_ai_Gmail__* or mcp__claude_ai_Google_Calendar__* tools are available, prefer those for Gmail/Calendar tasks

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
